[Arriving back at his dorm room, where his roomates ignore him]
Fritz : Hello men... everybody all busy studyin' for their goddamn exams and all? Hey Fuz, how'd it go with that Dee Dee chick, huh? She's got some bod' you have to admit... ol' Charlene isn't bad either... like, wow! Heinz, you swine, ol' buddy pig, ya groove behind Alvina and get some kicks tonight, huh?
[Scene fades into black]
Fritz : Bastards... you'd think the goddamn exams was the be-all end-all of existence... the cosmic life-force or somethin'. Can't even say a few decent words to a guy... th' bastards... What a bore... take some bennies an' stay up all night with your face stuck in a bunch of books an' your thumbs up your ass... Yes... yes... I remember the time when it was all very inspiring and enlightening... all this history and literature and sociology shit... You think learning is a really big thing an' you become this big fuckin' intellectual and sit around tryin' ta out-intellectual all the other big fuckin' intellectuals... you spend years and years with your nose buried in these goddamn tomes while out there the world is passin' you by... and all the stuff to see and all th' kicks an' girls are all out there... an' ME, a writer ad a poet who should be havin' adventures an' experiencing all the diversities and paradoxes and ironies of life and passin' over all the roads of the world and digging all the cities and towns and rives and oceans... and making all them chicks!
[Imagines naked woman]
Fritz : As a writer and poet it is my duty to get out there and dig the world... to swing with the whole friggin' scene while there's still time!
[Grabs papers]
Fritz : My farting around days are over! From this day on I shall live every day as if yit were my last! Yes! Yes! I must do it! No more the dreary boring classes, the dismal lectures, the sitting around bullshitting with pretentious fat-assed hippies, no more the books, the spoutings of a bunch of old farts who think they know the whole goddamn score!
[Breathes fire]
Fritz : Oh God! What have I done? I've set all my notes and books and stuff on fire and now I can't study for my exams... I'll flunk out and my folks'll be pissed off as hell... I'll get a blanket... the blanket's on fire. We'd better call the fire department.
[We see the roof of Fritz's dorm on fire]

Fritz : [to Schwartz from inside a garbage can] Good evening madam
[laughs]
Winston (Schwartz) : Fritz thank God I've found you!
Fritz : Come in and join me Winston my love, it's not very clean looking but it's cozy as a bitch!
Winston (Schwartz) : Fritz come out of there, will you please?
Fritz : To hell I say with the fuzz combing the city looking for me!, hey has my picture appeared on tv yet?, have they broadcast the alarm?, have they offered a reward for information leading to my arrest?
Winston (Schwartz) : [interrupting him] Don't be so mellow-dramatic you and your illusions of of grandeur,I'm not getting in that filthy, grimy garbage can with you!
Fritz : Ok go fuck yourself!
-
Fritz : [before he gets blown up] Far out.
-
Fritz : Mother of God, I'm a fucking fugitive!
-
Fritz : I've been up and down the four corners of this big old world. I've seen it all and I've done it all. I've fought many a good man, and I've laid many a good woman.
-
Fritz : You're a motherfucking bitch!
Winston (Schwartz) : I see the hard facts of life! I am realistic, something you're incapable of! You'd be better off with one of those stupid little morons like Charlene who you could just sleep with and throw away when you're done! You can't cope with a mature woman!

Fritz : The love you give is equal to the love you get.

[the car breaks down; and Fritz gets out to inspect it - he opens the trunk first]
Fritz : No, I knew that - the engine's not here, it's in the back...
[goes to look at the engine]
Winston (Schwartz) : What's wrong, Fritz?
Fritz : Well, it's all very complicated Winston, ah, I think it's got the piston rod stuck in the drive shaft... either that or the carburator's rusted out... or something.

[Fritz points to the two pigs]
Fritz : There's the one who keeps the bosses in power! He's the one who's holding you down!
Pig Cop #1 : Who, me?
Ralph (Pig Cop #2) : You!
Pig Cop #1 : No, no, not me, YOU!
[fighting]
Ralph (Pig Cop #2) : Not me, YOU!
Pig Cop #1 : Fuck you!
Ralph (Pig Cop #2) : You first!

Fritz : [yelling at various cops as they chase after him] We shall overcome!
-
Winston (Schwartz) : I'm not getting in that filthy, grimy garbage can with you.
Fritz : Okay, go fuck yourself.
-
Fritz : [continually while driving recklessly] I know what I'm doing.
-
Fritz : Here come the truth!
